I might actually be Spectrier in human form.

Like an iceberg, Glastrier moved slowly to the winner's circle. I honestly didn't think it had a chance in hell to turn this thing around after SO many missed attacks!

[@nicoo1784]

LOL. I don’t know if you watched the MML, but if Glastrier does it, then the Intimidation and the Hive Mind are the champions of comebacks.

Pokedex: Spectrier doesn't use it's sense of sight. Spectrier: *Uses Glare*

[@autumnzephyr331]

Just because it doesn't use its sight doesn't mean that it can't use its eye for other things~ ...Wait, the animation shows two eyes. This is blasphemy after all!

[@ej-epicjourney5351]

Oof, the Glastrier team were getting disrespected so hard in this fight. I'm surprised they managed to turn it around in the end.

Between all the missing and the fighting type moves and the paralysis XD This battle was... different lol

Love this series, Liam! I binge watched them all and I have enjoyed the development 😄

[@AceTrainerLiam]

Thanks Tom! 🙏

[@SneakyGliscor21]

So glad to see the series back, I absolutely loved watching these, but I have to point this out just for my own sanity. I hate that Glastrier sugimori image has ice covering both sides of his face but in game it doesnt, it bothers me to no end

Sweeps for days

[@Ryuma_MB]

Yeah that plus Power herb

[@Dark-Pikachu1]

God plz no

[@maniacmantis02]

As much as they lost this time i always feel ghost types have a HUGE advantage due to their double immunity to 2 common types.

[@shadycactus6146]

while i agree, i think glastrier’s massive defensive advantage more than outweighs the two immunities, especially since they’re really good in both defensive stats. the spectrier team was getting incredibly lucky with all the misses and full paralysis, and yet glastrier still won

[@maniacmantis02]

@@shadycactus6146 however the spectrier team mainly used physical and not very effective attacks i believe. Ive played a lot of metronome battles with my friend and weve decided to ban ghost types as they are usually the reason why the person wins. But yeah glastrier is nice and tanky which does help just as much as ghost in some cases.

I know that this isn't the favorite video format for Liam, but its def one of mine! Thanks so very kindly for doing these recently, and am hoping you find some joy in it again, rather than feeling you have to.

Happy to have this series back. Thank you Liam, you always go above and beyond for us. Keep it up 👍🏼

Thanks Zee!

[@thenerdbeast7375]

Hearing how they were obtained immediately made me think that these guys are a nightmare to farm natures and IVs for, thank goodness for mints and bottlecaps!

[@mystrenula3911]

But Spectrier wants 0 attack and Glastrier wants 0 speed

[@ORelic]

I was right! ...That a form fight would be perfect with that calyrex theme!

[@IchigoKurosaki-iq6ox]

this is a weird case cause both horses has things i like about them Spectrier is an amazing sweeper no doubt there but its not like to survive long Glastrier is both offensively and bulky which gives it more options then just one unlike Spectrier plus Glastrier in trick room would be amazing

[@mlpfanboy1701]

Unfortunantly for glastrier (and ice rider calyrex) there typing is bad, so they despratly need the absurd defenses, in fact honestly both lf there defenses need a buff.

[@lordcooler1703]

That was by far the most awesome Form Fight I've seen yet! Personally, between the two, I'd say my favorite is Glacstria. Can we have a Form Fight between Beedrill and Mega Beedrill next? Please?

[@Kanbei11]

Can be done in let's go to avoid those USUM graphics too

[@opheliaotter]

I too prefer Spectrier over Glastrier, but for the design aspect. The separation of the hooves from the legs is really unique and its color palette is both royal and spooky.

[@PKMNwww411_MkII]

Form Fights wanted! - Beedrill vs Mega Beedrill (Let's Go!) - Cosplay Pikachu FFA (ORAS) - Slowking vs Galar Slowking (SwSh)

[@PurpleDragonair]

I love all of your videos but this series really convinced me to subscribe to your channel so I love that Form Fight is back for now

[@jorgemunoz1953]

Can't wait for Kanto vs galar slowbro and slowking...wait would it be kings Vs bros or Kanto Vs galar?

[@ewouddemeestere105]

He forgot soul heart, the ability of magearna which also boosts special attack when you knock out an opponent

[@Moleoflands]

Doesn't have to be an opponent, and you you don't have to even be responsible. They just need to be on the battlefield when they faint

[@kennymccormick3646]

Next form fight: Kanto Articuno Vs Galar Articuno

[@MysognistLuigi]

They're going to have to have two regular galar Articuno because it's shiny locked

[@ORelic]

[@ThatJaymsWisdom]

Looking at pictures I thought I preferred Spectrier but my gf wanted that one so I got Glastrier. And I'm so glad I did because I think it's super cool. I love how asymmetrical it's face is! I do much prefer the ghost typing though.

[@Lycan_Liam]

Love my ice horse. Thought it'd be more appropriate to have an ice horse in the icey Crown Tundra and fell in love with it. And they outlived and outlasted

[@isaias9838]

I’m really shocked at the loss. I wanted Spectrier to win.

[@monstermayhem4367]

Spectrier using Glare is funny to me as it doesn't use it's eyes at all

[@shadycactus6146]

my assumption is that it’s meant to be pronounced like french, so with the “er” at the end making an “ay” sound

[@LuciGoosey13]

Same, that's how I pronounce them

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

Design-wise, Glastrier is better, looking like Kirin from Monster Hunter and stat wise, Spectrier is better.

[@tiffany5009]

he looks better... in your opinion

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

@@tiffany5009 yes.

[@orange6259]

True but spectrier’s move pool is so bad glastier ends up being the better Pokémon overall.

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

@@orange6259 That's understandable.

Reverse it and then you’re right

[@bryoncorson6543]

This is tied for my favorite series between forum fight WTF moments and metro mania

[@fdatab9314]

I truly believe they should give Ice types resistance to bug, normal and maybe grass to finally make it a bit better of a defensive typing. (Also, those resistances kinda make sense)

[@megacosmicpokemonthing2340]

For me they should be resistant to grass,flying,and bug because all those types cannot handle the cold so it makes sense (normal works as well ngl)

[@Kanbei11]

Spectrier looks like the kind of Pokémon to choose doom desire as its destiny

[@Quix0tic707]

This battle was epic! Please do Galarian legendary birds vs Kanto legendary birds.

[@Leobreaker_G]

Liam you're actually correct on the pronunciation for Glastrier. :) Because the other would have to be spelled Glaistrier with an I

[@StarCrossedShadow]

That was so back and forth, it was exciting

[@emeraldqueen1994]

Specirer (regular AND shiny) are my preferred Pokemon between these guys... I love how they look

[@camilletrim2844]

how about regidrago and regilectric next fight

[@רזאלפסי-נ8ז]

proud of my icy bois

[@xDoctorxFaustusx]

I pronounce Glastrier as ICE HORSE and Spectrier as GHOST HORSE

[@autumnre_]

The Glastrier team: "You had us in the first half, not gonna lie" 😂😂😂 I personally like Glastrier more and I picked the good ol Ice Horse for my Calyrex. I was rooting for them and I am glad they could pull out the win! 😂

[@nextin_dabuilding2908]

Same

[@Fenrir_Unshackled]

Form fight is back bois😍

[@codybutler7742]

I'd have to say Spectrier for this form fight. I love using a lot of slow, bulky pokemon, but bulky ice types don't work quite as well as other types. Meanwhile, who doesn't love a strong glass cannon?

[@LeahLovesNature]

I think saying Glastrier with a short A sound, like you do at the beginning of this video, is okay. Ice kind of looks like glass, so a big white horse with crystals all over its body would look like it's made of glass.

[@snapclub8751]

Glad trier seems to be getting more use than Spectrier, especially on Trick Room teams. Glastrier also has a much wider move pool than Spectrier.

[@PixelbitScript]

I dont need sleep, I need answers

[@hangry4595]

“ is the only Pokémon the special attacking style of moxie” * sad magerena noises*

[@mlpfanboy1701]

12:31 not the worst move a spectrier could use against a glastrier with enhanced defenses but it is probably in the bottom 5.

[@DaddyDynastic]

I like Glastrier more cuz I think it looks cool so I'm hoping it wins but it's abysmal speed and special defense make me feel like Spectrier will most likely win Edit: DANG IT

[@westinpooladsanj9267]

Glastier would be an absolute powerhouse under trick room

[@redtwo006]

Spectrier is indeed the better choice for me! Glastrier would be nice if it actually had a decent defensive typing, but for some reason Game Freak likes to make Ice types bulky despite the fact they are better suited as fast glass cannons. The best Ice-type in the game is basically the best Water-type :P

[@SuperGamefreak18]

The ghost horse isn't beautiful it's majestic and beautiful I could see it on a black beauty book (that horse girl book)

[@axellebron7868]

Binge watched this whole series and I LOVE IT

[@ShayTheValiant]

Personally, I pronounce it as glass-tree-er because of the French word for ice, "glace," and France is close to the U.K. and Kalos is possibly close to Galar.

[@brodaciousbro1149]

Grim Neigh is basically Soul-Heart it faints a Pokémon it’s SpA raises

Love your videos Liam but can you do urshifu single strike form vs rapid strike form???

[@HollowiiMarz]

So serious question WHEN TF did shadow force animation change!?!? I rememeber my dragapult looked nothing like that when it used to use this move

[@asmith2957]

Shadow force is actually Giratina's exclusive move. I believe the move you're thinking of is Phantom Force. It's basically Shadow Force but a bit weaker and learned by way more Pokemon

[@HollowiiMarz]

@@asmith2957 ahhh there you go. Thanks for clarification. That explains why it looks like youre breaking out of the distortion world or something lol beautiful animation

Glastrier is basically Glacius, even shares his color scheme 🤣

[@derrickscott1630]

Great battle! Defense wins championships

[@adamayub2716]

Both are good but Glastrier is just much better. Spectrier could perhaps appeal to a playthrough only player more as its fast and hits hard. But when you realise the only *decent* special moves it gets besides Shadow Ball is Mud Shot, Dark Pulse and Hyper Beam 😬😬😬. Yeah this thing just ain’t it. Meanwhile Glastrier gets Close Combat, High Horsepower, Smart Strike, Icicle Crash amongst many other vast different powerful coverage moves that lets it take advantage of Dynamax boosts as well as cover its weaknesses well. Both have their uses but I just think Glastrier is a better Pokémon competitively and as an overall team player.

[@luiginumbaone1248]

Bruh I hope Glastrier wins. I like Spectrier, but tbh I feel like Glastrier is underrated. Yeah it’s slow, but it hits hard and tanks many attacks. Spectrier kinda feels like a worse Zacian in that she can’t take a single hit, like Sucker Punch. No hate tho, I have them both!

[@PHiLLy2c]

Trust bro glastrier isnt under rated it has high usage on the ranked battle ladder
